    UK GENERAL ELECTION THURSDAY MAY 6th 2010

    i found this particularly interesting. and re the Notts tram: it's not a bad system is it? (in my limited experience.) i was impressed you can get it out to Hucknall (non-league footy reasons in my case of course!). the tram system in Manchester is pretty ropey.

    there's a fairly decent Shepherd Neame house somewhere in Covent Garden (which i obviously forget the name and address of). as a northerner i have obviously not grown up w Neame tied houses being a usual thing for me (if you want cheap Joey Holts i'm your man), so i am like a lovesick fool...

    is Essien going? hasn't he been touch and go? i was pretty livid watching that Brazil match, IIRC the scoreline really, really did flatter the boys in yellow. the Aussies give the Brazilians a good knock in Germany too IIRC.

    oh my stars still loving the Fulham-inspired tactical chats and articles from a few pages ago. deffo supporting them against the relatively aristocratic At Madrid. (beside which my Spanish team is Getafe.)

    yeah i saw about Loughborough, i share your surprise. i mean, a good good showing for the Tory party. and Notts council has been proper slash and burn hasn't it? those results are interesting read through that light. tangential: aren't certain bits of Leics - alongside north Yorks and the...

    cheers cracker :cool: not just for the sake of D_Q (though that helps) i cannot emphasis enough how much i want Forest go up. i like Holloway and his team, but if Forest do go on to the final can't say i'm a massive fan of Leicester.

    actually although there's no firm pattern in Brum (w a mix of Tory seats in the outer conurbation, a couple of Liberal too and a lot of Labour in the inner conurbation *) three of the inner seats (inc Ladywood, the most deprived constituency in the UK i believe though it also includes the glitzy...

    though granted Brum Edgbaston was an interesting seat. i see Brum Ladywood is one of three seats now represented by one of the first three women parliamentarians from a Muslim background.

    one of the many (caveat: many, many, which we could endlessly discuss if we want) interesting quirks is how well Labour did in Brum. obviously the large provincial cities in the midlands and north tend to be Labour areas throughout the conurbations (Labour reclaimed Liverpol from the Liberals)...
